Communications

Pursuant to the Idaho Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

A copy of all complaints against Sally McCollum (PSY - 237).

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Thanks for the response. The form states: "If the records you request pertain to you, and the record is otherwise exempt from public disclosure (for example your application or testing information), you must sign this form and have your signature notarized. Other requests for public information do NOT need to be notarized." My request falls into the "other requests for public information category," which means that it does not need to be notarized. Should I interpret your response as an indication that there are no disclosable records pertaining to this licensee, since there are no disciplinary orders?

My apologies; you are correct. It does not need to be notarized for your request. I was responding to several requests at the same time and made a mistake.

My agency likes to have an official response for requests, but I don't want to have you fill out a request and then deny it. Complaints are not a matter of public record, and if one does constitute a violation of the Board of Psychologist Examiners laws and rules, the licensee is afforded due process and it still has to be investigated. It does not become public unless there is disciplinary action taken. The process is actually outlined<https://ibol.idaho.gov/IBOL/AgencyAdditional.aspx?Agency=427&AgencyLinkID=67> on our website.
